On the Design:

The central medallion exhibits a cruciform shape outlined in deep teal, with geometric embellishments at its cardinal points suggesting stylized floral elements. Corner spandrels feature abstracted botanical motifs in muted sage green and the upper and lower borders display a pattern of curved elements interspersed with small geometric details, while subtle vegetal sprays emerge from the medallion's top and bottom, adding organic movement to the otherwise geometric pink-cream field design. Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will further appreciate a notable cream white accent at play among the humble, yet rich palette in this piece—a subversive, yet classic look almost like that of antique Oushak rugs in its inspiration. Keen eyes for detail will love this subversive way to approach an old-world design, while anyone can appreciate its unique classic look, detail, movement and phenomenal range of colors in kind.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish rug has good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered which gives it the mild element of a distressed, shabby-chich look. See less
